Waterproof Phones

The waterproof smartphone offers enhanced water protection. Our engineers have applied their expertise to the design of models resistant to water, liquids, and dust to ensure component protection in case of accidents, water splashes, water jets, or even immersion in water. This level of protection is measured by an international standard that identifies the risks against which the phone is protected.

Waterproofing is a very important criterion depending on your professional activity, lifestyle, or hobbies, which is why we are committed to providing you with smartphones that are waterproof and dustproof. Discover how to choose your waterproof phone.

Why choose a waterproof phone?

Waterproof smartphones are protected so that their components are not damaged when the device comes into contact with water, except in cases of very deep and prolonged immersion, or dust. If the immersion is deep, the water pressure will naturally increase, posing a greater risk of damage to the phone's components. Depending on the phone's waterproof rating, it will therefore be protected from minor or more serious incidents.

With a waterproof phone, you can be more at ease in case you drop your smartphone in toilet water, the bath, a puddle… or if it gets wet, from rain for example or a splash.

This protection is especially practical daily for clumsy people who tend to drop their phone often, those who work in particularly humid environments, or for those who want to use their smartphone to take photos or videos underwater.

Waterproofing is a highly valued feature for athletes who engage in outdoor activities on sand, dirt, snow, or in water, such as mountain biking or skiing. During physical activity in a natural environment, you may face bad weather or accidentally drop your smartphone… in the wrong place.

Professionals working in sensitive environments, such as construction trades or industry, for example, will also benefit from an optimal level of waterproofing to protect their device daily.

If you frequently travel, you will need to make sure to choose a durable and waterproof phone that is resistant enough to shocks as well as contact with water and dust.

The IP protection rating

The resistance level of a mobile phone against solids and liquids is certified by the IP standard (Ingress Protection) created by the International Electrotechnical Commission. It is represented by two numbers indicating respectively the level of protection against dust (on a scale from 0 to 6) and the level of water resistance (on a scale from 0 to 9). A phone can be considered “waterproof” when it is certified by the IP67 or IP68 standard.

Index	Protection against dust	Protection against water
0	No protection.	No protection.
1	Protected against solid objects larger than 50 mm.	Protected against vertical falling water drops.
2	Protected against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.	Protected against falling water drops up to 15° from vertical.
3	Protected against solid objects larger than 2.5 mm.	Protected against rainwater up to 60° from vertical.
4	Protected against solid objects larger than 1 mm.	Protected against water splashes from all directions.
5	Protected against dust and other microscopic residues.	Protected against water jets from all directions with a lance.
6	Fully protected against dust.	Protected against strong water jets from all directions with a lance.
7		Protected against the effects of temporary immersion up to 1 m for 30 minutes.
8		Protected against the effects of prolonged immersion beyond 1 m.
9		Protection against high-pressure, high-temperature cleaning from multiple directions.

The design of waterproof phones

Waterproof smartphones are not all sealed against the same liquids and solid particles. While most provide protection against water, our engineers have chosen components and technologies to ensure optimal sealing against various liquids: fresh water, salt water, paint, oil, snow, chlorinated water, hand sanitizer gel… as well as dust, sand, and other microscopic residues.

Thus, our waterproof phones are made from high-performance materials:

Polymer membranes (Gore-Tex technology) around audio elements: microphone, earpiece, speaker
Polymer seal between the front and back of the phone
Waterproof elastomer caps around the connector elements

Waterproof smartphone models

The best waterproof smartphones stand out thanks to their strong resistance to contact with solids, liquids, or immersion. They feature a sturdy casing and waterproof seals that protect the smartphone’s components from damage caused by water or dust infiltration.

To choose the model that suits your use, you should define the level of risk you want to be protected against. Based on that, make sure to check the phone’s corresponding protection rating.
